  • Could be just a public facing figurehead who'll take all the heat while the puppetmasters behind the scenes whip up their terrible schemes, but sounds a little too sophisticated for Trump

  • Trump actually ended up slightly increasing his base

    74,263,792 at current count, last election he got 74,223,975. So about 40,000 more. Relatively minuscule, but still an achievement for him

    The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.

    Door County, Wisconsin voted for Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. Here's what voters are thinking in the battleground-state swing county ahead of the presidential election.

    This Wisconsin county has backed the winning presidential candidate for the last 6 elections

    If the demonrats lose this county and, as evidence suggests, lose this election, it'll be cuz of the annoying old lib couple that of course have a toy dog in a baby carrier.

  • I feel yr pain, I made a post exactly like your comment a few months ago

  • Russian language is as much a part of Ukraine as Ukranian is. You won't see many in the media calling it Kyiv before Ukraine turned nationalist under Poroshenko
  • Isn't that just how the language works though? Like, it sounds unnatural to say certain nouns without adding "the" to the front

    Well the "naturalness" argument feels a bit iffy to me, but in the context of a specific language community, over time, things stick I guess. Like why do germans (I rly should say germanophones since austrians and the swiss do exist) say "der Iran", or "der Jemen"? Who came up with that? Now it probably feels natural to them, but it was never preordained.

    Spanish does that too, it's why Das Kapital is called El Capital in Spanish but just Capital in English.

    Im sure someone more linguistically minded can give the real explanation but in regards to your Capital example, its a peculiar feature of English in relation to the other western european languages where certain abstract nouns are not used with their articles. Like for example in English you can say "Love wins", but in German you cant say "Liebe gewinnt", you say "Die Liebe gewinnt".

  • Russian language is as much a part of Ukraine as Ukranian is. You won't see many in the media calling it Kyiv before Ukraine turned nationalist under Poroshenko
  • also its funny cuz nobody gets mad at the germans for saying "die Ukraine". In fact theres a bunch of country names in german that get used with a definite article, like die Slowakei, die Turkei, die Schweiz.

  • Rly rich of the bbc to post this when the English have done their absolute best to stamp out any trace of the celtic languages

    For nearly 40 years, daring smugglers transported nearly 40,000 Lithuanian-language books into the nation each year when it was forbidden under Russian rule.

    Like there rly is no other point in posting this other than to stoke russophobia. "OH those barbaric russians" thinks the reader while ignoring the history of their own country's linguicide, whether the uk, the us or any other western chauvinist shithole

  • While Tatyana endorsed the merger as a way to grow the Wildberries business, Vladislav came out publicly against the deal. Enlisting the help of Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin and Putin’s self-described “foot soldier,” Vladislav and Kadyrov released a video in which they accused Russ Outdoor of seizing Wildberries. In the same video, Kadyrov vowed to “return Tatyana to the family and protect a legitimate business.”

I don't think there are any who don't follow Obama as well, he did serve two whole terms, and Hilary's credibility was, even if they say otherwise, damaged badly by her loss. I don't think there are any PUMAs left. The so-called "progressives" or the squad? Pfft, hardly able to stop anything, let alone kickbacks.

    discovered this band when spotify recommended me one of the songs from their previous effort walkman, which is now one of my favorite albums. Recently they released their new self-titled album, which is I think is basically a sequel to walkman.

    Paul sweetie have some dignity

    > As most people know by now, Robert Hur, a special counsel appointed to look into allegations of wrongdoing on Biden’s part, concluded that the president shouldn’t be charged. But his report included an uncalled-for and completely unprofessional swipe at Biden’s mental acuity, apparently based on the president’s difficulty in remembering specific dates — difficulty that, as I wrote on Friday, everyone confronts at whatever age. Hur’s gratuitous treatment of Biden echoed James Comey’s gratuitous treatment of Clinton — Hur and Comey both seemed to want to take political stands when that was not their duty.

    he had to justify his decision to not press charges somehow Paul

    > It’s also true that many voters think the president’s age is an issue. But there’s perception and there’s reality: As anyone who has recently spent time with Biden (and I have) can tell you, he is in full possession of his faculties — completely lucid and with excellent grasp of detail. Of course, most voters don’t get to see him up close, and it’s on Biden’s team to address that. And yes, he speaks quietly and a bit slowly, although this is in part because of his lifetime struggle with stuttering. He also, by the way, has a sense of humor, which I think is important.

    A new global gender divide is emerging

    One of the most well-established patterns in measuring public opinion is that every generation tends to move as one in terms of its politics and general ideology. Its members share the same formative experiences, reach life’s big milestones at the same time and intermingle in the same spaces. So how should we make sense of reports that Gen Z is hyper-progressive on certain issues, but surprisingly conservative on others? The answer, in the words of Alice Evans, a visiting fellow at Stanford University and one of the leading researchers on the topic, is that today’s under-thirties are undergoing a great gender divergence, with young women in the former camp and young men the latter. Gen Z is two generations, not one. In countries on every continent, an ideological gap has opened up between young men and women. Tens of millions of people who occupy the same cities, workplaces, classrooms and even homes no longer see eye-to-eye. In the US, Gallup data shows that after decades where the sexes were each spread roughly equally across liberal and conservative world views, women aged 18 to 30 are now 30 percentage points more liberal than their male contemporaries. That gap took just six years to open up
